He discussed about reducing poverty by using three pillars strategy as follows: (i) first, to drive inclusive, sustainable economic growth by crowding in private sector investment, help countries manage debt levels, and harness the power of technology like FinTech; (ii) second, to build resilience to shocks and threats by taking urgent action on climate change, and help countries share the risks of disasters with the capital markets; and (iii) and finally, to help countries invest more, and more effectively in their people to prepare for what is certain to be a more digitally-demanding future. He spoke in length about Human Capital Index, to change the conversation around human capital. He concluded by saying that the most important thing we do to prepare our country for the future is to give every child, everywhere in the world, a chance to reach for the stars.
